Darkwalker of the Sky World

Before the filming started, everything went smoothly.

Whether it's communication between various departments, role exchanges, or finding a suitable shooting location, it's smooth sailing.

Although silent movies don’t need lines, lines are also very important, because language is also an expression of emotions.

Even if there is no sound, the audience must experience the emotions the actor wants to express through the screen.

This is also the reason why most of the film actors in the beginning are actors, because they have received strict training.

Most of the first filmmakers opened photo studios, and they only understood the basic knowledge of photography.

But when the movie started shooting, everything came out.

Photographers can only shoot with a fixed lens, and there is no beauty at all.

The lighting engineer is always unsure of his position and often enters the mirror.

The actors didn't fit in enough and the styles didn't match.

As for acting skills, Zhou Zhen did not dare to have any extravagant expectations. Even Hollywood and French film masters have not yet formed the so-called performance system.

Nowadays, as long as it can tell a story smoothly, it is enough.

And there is another place that Zhou Zhen is not used to.

In later generations, you can directly see the shots, what's wrong, you can tell at a glance.

But it doesn't work now. Except for the photographer's small shot, even the director doesn't know what the scene is like.

The film that is shot every day must be taken down and printed before it can be played on a movie projector.

Then you will find that many shots do not produce the desired effect at all, so retake the shot.

The editing at this time is really cutting the film with a pair of scissors.

Based on experience, the director cuts the film that was shot bit by bit, then pieced it together, and finally reprinted the sequenced film into a complete negative.

Everyone complained incessantly under Zhou Zhen's "strict" requirements. In their opinion, this movie has been sent well enough, but Zhou Zhen is not satisfied.

As mentioned earlier, the movie actress Wang Hanlun filmed, edited, participated in and made a movie by herself.

Today's film shooting is so crude and chaotic.

Later, Hong Kong films will make a movie in half a month, and this time will be faster, and even a movie will be made in three days.

Regardless of their complaints, Zhou Zhen used his identity to coerce. In his opinion, this movie is still crudely made, it's just a tall one in a short one, and it's not too strong.

The appearance and style of Sun Cimei and later generations of international chapters are a bit similar. Although she can't talk about acting skills, she has learned to sing since she was a child and is still capable of playing a role.

The main reason is that the current actor's style is difficult to unify. In order to make the shots harmonious, Zhou Zhen strives for perfection and reshoots many scenes.

For this film, he consumed more films than the other five films, and the cost rose sharply.

And the shooting process alone took "a whole month".

The original film director, Meng Guangzu, has completely admired him. He originally thought Zhou Zhen was just a boy who played a ticket, but Zhou Zhen's professionalism was much more advanced than him.

He has changed from a director to an assistant director, specifically for Zhou Zhen.

During the filming process, Zhou Zhen seemed to be "proficient" in every procedure of the crew, and even his acting skills were terrifyingly brilliant.

He has lectured to male and female protagonists more than once, and not only played the role of the male protagonist very well, but also showed the form of the woman vividly.

If it wasn't for his identity, Meng Guangzu wanted to tell him more than once, and let him play the male lead by himself.

Now, unlike later generations, movie actors, actors, and a few women belong to the next nine pops.

He wanted to confuse Zhou Zhen to participate in the movie, but Jin Rong dared to take a gun and crash him.

After half a month of editing, Zhou Zhen added introductory sentences in Chinese and English to each segment of the film.

Today's movies are similar to the comics of later generations, and it is not possible to add subtitles when the plot is pushed forward.

So the movie is divided into paragraphs. Before each paragraph begins, there will be a caption introduction for about five seconds.

Through the introduction of subtitles, the audience can understand the story of the next stage.

If anyone has watched the silent films of Chaplin's era, they will know what happened.

However, in the previous Modu movies, only Chinese prompts were added. Now Zhou Zhen has meticulously crafted and added English prompts, just to open up foreign markets.

"Angels on the Road" is a tragic film, and the plot is somewhat similar to "La Traviata", including "Tiffany's Breakfast" starring Audrey Hepburn, which is actually the same pattern.

Zhou Zhen has already thought about propagating the slogan in the West, "La Traviata" in the East.

In the movie, he focused on showing the beautiful scenery of the magic capital, Huang Chujiu's big world, and the oriental luxury in this movie.

Cultural invasion, who wouldn’t?

At the end of October, the film was completed and premiered in the big world.

All four movie theaters show this movie, and they are still actively promoting it.

In this era, there is no online piracy, and it doesn't matter whether it is released at the same time.

Sometimes, a movie will be shown in the north only after it has been shown in the south for half a year.

At the same time, Zhou Zhen is also actively communicating with the major consulates, wanting to operate the film abroad for release.

At this time, his identity played an important role. Consuls from various countries watched this film, and whether they liked it or not, they were willing to provide convenience to him, the prime minister.

He did not deal with companies from various countries, directly communicated with the consulates, and was willing to provide a 10% profit commission, and then negotiate with businessmen from various countries through the consulates.

The original manager of the film company Kong Mao, with four subordinates, was responsible for this business.

With this level of consulate relations, although it will increase some costs, those foreign merchants dare not swindle, let alone print the film privately.

Soon, the road angel caused a sensation among the people and triggered a frenzy of viewing.

The film’s costumes are extremely gorgeous, the setting is luxurious, the actors are beautiful, the plot is compact, and the plot is complete.

Zhou Zhen applied the filming experience of later generations to the current movies a hundred years in advance. Not to mention comparing with domestic movies, it is also far beyond that of France, where the film is the most powerful. (Hollywood movies have always been apprentices of French movies since the beginning.)

So "Angels on the Road" became popular and became a hit.

Fifty cents for a ticket is not cheap, but the movie theater in the magic city, as long as the movie is introduced, there will be a flood of audiences.

In mid-November, Mrs. Jin came to the magic city from the capital, wanting to see if her little son is living well in the magic city.

At this time, when the movie was hot, the major media were praising the movie.

Zhou Zhen took her mother to the box of the Great World Cinema to watch the movie, and the old lady saw tears streaming down her eyes.

Originally, she preferred and was the most worried about this young son, but after two months of Zhou Zhen's arrival, she broke into such a momentum and gave her no more worries.

Watching a movie on the screen and the actors sitting next to her made Mrs. Jin extremely excited. Watching the movie for a while, and watching Sun Cimei for a while, this feeling obviously made her very comfortable.

Zhou Zhen was relieved when his mother was ready.

Although he doesn't have much affection for Mrs. Jin, he still occupies the identity of her son, and he has to make her comfortable to be worthy of her.

Mrs. Jin was very satisfied with her son, but Bai Xiuzhu was a little dissatisfied.

She hopes that Zhou Zhen will always be by her side and enjoy a romantic life.

But when he came to the magic city, Zhou Zhen was very busy most of the time, socializing with people and making movies.

Now that the movie has been shot and it is so popular, although it satisfies her vanity, she is more and more uncomfortable with Sun Cimei.

This girl is long and beautiful, and now she has become a big star, and the fool can also see that her eyes are full of infatuation with Zhou Zhen.

She is not afraid that an actor will threaten her status, but she is afraid that she shares the love that belongs to her Xiaoqi.

In a beautiful house in the concession, Huang Chujiu's eyes widened in surprise. "How many?"

"It's already half a million."

"The film company can be divided into half... that is to say, in just over half a month, plus the surrounding areas, it can be divided into two hundred and fifty thousand!"

"Yes."

"If it's the whole country..."

The middle-aged in front of Huang Chujiu said: "The fare in other places is not as high as the magic capital. Tickets in many places are only one or two cents. However, according to estimates, in China, this movie can also sell for 5 million."

Huang Chujiu took a breath. "It's incredible. In the past, a movie sold for tens of thousands of dollars and it made a lot of money. This time, it has increased by a hundred times. I really didn't expect that making a movie makes such a profit..."

The middle-aged smiled and said, "Selling drugs is a few cents and a few percent of the profit. When the movie is filmed, it will be several times, dozens of times the profit. This time I am considered an eye-opener."

Huang Chujiu said: "You are going to Europe soon, and finally you can establish a relationship with the prime minister. You must work hard."

"I see."

In another Huang's mansion, another Huang boss was also shocked by the news.

"Five hundred thousand, how many big banquets does Lao Tzu have to sell to make so much money, the money will flow in like water for a month."

As a low-level tycoon, he pays more attention to Zhou Zhen, the prime minister.

He knew very well that he was only criticizing the people at the bottom, and the real high-level people didn't put him in the eyes, otherwise, he wouldn't be a warlord's office and would make him miserable.

He wants to fight for the higher ranks, Zhou Zhen's identity is very important.

Hundreds of thousands are not in his eyes. His current family property is at least a few million, but he was shocked by the speed of the money.

I originally thought it was a ya-nei, but now I realize that this is a capable person who has the goods!

Look again, if the prime minister is really reliable, he will take refuge in his family.

It is said that Jin Quan is now booming. It is said that within two years, the prime minister's son will become the president's son.

(There is one more at five o'clock in the afternoon...)
